 Pups are 7 weeks old - Their sweet momma died :(
Last Wed my precious Minky was attacked by a coyote and died later that afternoon - I am absolutely heartbroken about her being gone. She was my baby and followed me everywhere I went, when I had to leave she was waiting patiently at the door, I would get up and walk outta any room in the house and she would follow me to my next spot - even if she just got settled - She was the most loyal and loving dog I have ever known. I am so sad I don't know how the despair will ever end…. I know life goes on and the best thing she could have left me were her precious little babies - My sweet momma had 4 puppies July 1st so they are just about 7 weeks old - the vet said the puppies will be fine without her as they were being weaned by momma starting at week 5 - they were already eating puppy food on their own and i've been supplementing the last few days with fresh goats milk a few times a day - they seem to be sleeping ok and active and we do have their daddy and he is very sweet with them and plays and interacts…. But I just wanna know if there is anything I need to be doing to help them adjust or become socialized better now that their sweet momma isn't here to show them. I feel so sad for them that this happened and we all miss her so much - I am so grateful for this forum - It helped me numerous times when Minky whelped and I referred to it almost daily since then regarding different situations. thank you in advance for advising me on this as well |
